I lost about 3 stone over 4 months by doing a VLCD [Slim and Save] but didn't stick to it 100%. I was in the right head space as I was aiming to lose as much as possible before a total hip replacement op. mid October. I now weigh 13st6lbs which is about 4lbs heavier than I was for surgery and I'm trying to maintain this til I'm healed, and hope to lose another 2stone by low carbing in the spring.
